The last of four inmates who escaped from a north-central Kansas county jail this week is back in custody.

The state Department of Corrections says 22-year-old Eric James was apprehended around 5:30 p.m. Friday in Omaha, Neb., and is now in the custody of Omaha police.

Officer Michael Pecha with the Omaha Police Department said that officers spotted a Nissan Altima with Kansas license plates driving in the area of 30th and Franklin streets just before 4:30 p.m. They determined the car was stolen and possibly in the possession of James.

Pecha said the car was pulled over, but James was not inside. He said further investigation led them to 136 N. 31st Ave. Police surrounded the building and called for James to come out. Pecha said James came out and was taken into custody.

James was serving a state sentence for robbery and other crimes when he and three fellow inmates escaped Wednesday morning from the Ottawa County Jail in Minneapolis, Kan., about 120 miles west of Topeka.
